Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, efficient, and economical cooking
technology. It works by electromagnetic vibrations generating heat directly in the
pan, rather than indirectly through heating the glass surface. The glass becomes
hot only because the pan eventually warms it up.

6
Only use cookware with a base suitable for induction cooking. Look for
the induction symbol on the packaging or on the bottom of the pan.
Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits flat against the glass, and is
the same size as the cooking zone. Use pans whose diameter is as large as the
graphic of the zone selected.Using a pot a slightly wider energy will be used at its
maximum efficiency.If you use smaller pot efficiency could be less than
expected.Pot less than 140 mm could be undetected by the hob. Always centre
your pan on the cooking zone.
Always lift pans off the Induction hob – do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.
To start cooking

• the pan you’re using is not suitable for induction cooking or,
• the pan is too small or not properly centered on the cooking zone.
No heating takes place unless there is a suitable pan on the cooking zone.
The display will automatically turn off after 2 minutes if no suitable pan is placed on
it.

control in an emergency, but you shall unlock the hob first in the next
operation
Over-Temperature Protection
A temperature sensor equipped can monitor the temperature inside the Induction
hob. When an excessive temperature is monitored, the Induction hob will stop
operation automatically.
People with a heart pace maker should consult with their doctor before
using this unit.

Cooking Guidelines
13
Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if
you’re using PowerBoost. At extremely high termperatures oil and fat will
ignite spontaneously and this presents a serious fire risk.
Cooking Tips
Searing steak
To cook juicy flavoursome steaks:
1. Stand the meat at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.
2. Heat up a heavy-based frying pan.
3. Brush both sides of the steak with oil. Drizzle a small amount of oil into the hot
pan and then lower the meat onto the hot pan.
4. Turn the steak only once during cooking. The exact cooking time will depend
on the thickness of the steak and how cooked you want it. Times may vary
from about 2 – 8 minutes per side. Press the steak to gauge how cooked it is –
the firmer it feels the more ‘well done’ it will be.
5. Leave the steak to rest on a warm plate for a few minutes to allow it to relax
and become tender before serving.
For stir-frying
14
1. Choose an induction compatible flat-based wok or a large frying pan.
2. Have all the ingredients and equipment ready. Stir-frying should be quick.
If cooking large quantities, cook the food in several smaller batches.
3. Preheat the pan briefly and add two tablespoons of oil.
4. Cook any meat first, put it aside and keep warm.
5. Stir-fry the vegetables. When they are hot but still crisp, turn the cooking zone
to a lower setting, return the meat to the pan and add your sauce.
6. Stir the ingredients gently to make sure they are heated through.
7. Serve immediately.
Heat Settings
The settings below are guidelines only. The exact setting will depend on several
factors, including your cookware and the amount you are cooking. Experiment with
the induction hob to find the settings that best suit you.

Installation
Selection of installation equipment
Cut out the work surface according to the sizes shown in the drawing.
For the purpose of installation and use, a minimum of 5 cm space shall be
preserved around the hole.
19
Be sure the thickness of the work surface is at least 30mm. Please select
heat-resistant work surface material to avoid larger deformation caused by the
heat radiation from the hotplate. As shown below:
Under any circumstances, make sure the Induction cooker hob is well ventilated
and the air inlet and outlet are not blocked. Ensure the Induction cooker hob is in
good work state. As shown below
Note: The safety distance between the hotplate and the cupboard above
the hotplate should be at least 760mm.
20
Before you install the hob, make sure that
• the work surface is square and level, and no structural members interfere with
space requirements
• the work surface is made of a heat-resistant material
• if the hob is installed above an oven, the oven has a built-in cooling fan
• the installation will comply with all clearance requirements and applicable
standards and regulations
• a suitable isolating switch providing full disconnection from the mains power
supply is incorporated in the permanent wiring, mounted and positioned to
comply with the local wiring rules and regulations.
The isolating switch must be of an approved type and provide a 3 mm air gap
contact separation in all poles (or in all active [phase] conductors if the local
wiring rules allow for this variation of the requirements)
• the isolating switch will be easily accessible to the customer with the hob installed
• you consult local building authorities and by-laws if in doubt regarding installation
• you use heat-resistant and easy-to-clean finishes (such as ceramic tiles) for the
wall surfaces surrounding the hob.
21
Cautions
1. The induction hotplate must be installed by qualified personnel or technicians.
We have professionals at your service. Please never conduct the operation by
yourself.
2. The hob will not be installed directly above a dishwasher, fridge, freezer,
washing machine or clothes dryer, as the humidity may damage the hob
electronics
3. The induction hotplate shall be installed such that better heat radiation can be
ensured to enhance its reliability.
4. The wall and induced heating zone above the table surface shall withstand heat.
5. To avoid any damage, the sandwich layer and adhesive must be resistant to
heat.
22
• If the cable is damaged or to be replaced, the operation must be carried out the
by after-sale agent with dedicated tools to avoid any accidents.
• If the appliance is being connected directly to the mains an omnipolar
circuit-breaker must be installed with a minimum opening of 3mm between
contacts.
• The installer must ensure that the correct electrical connection has been made
and that it is compliant with safety regulations.
• The cable must not be bent or compressed.
• The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by authorised technicians
only.
• The yellow/green wire of the power supply cable must be connected to the earth
of both power supply and appliance terminals.
• The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any accidents resulting from the
use of an appliance which is not connected to earth, or with faulty earth
connection continuity.
• If the appliance has a socket outlet, it must be installed so that the socket outlet is
accessible.
